Diffrences between the special theory's of relativity and the theory of emptiness?

Question

i need to know the conflicting points between Einstein's Special Theroys of Relitivity and the Buddhist's theroy's of emptyness. In my quest to find the convergence of science and spirituality

Answer 1

11 dimensional string theory has not produced anything.

It is possible that the 7 dimensions of space that are not perceived are mathematical deception, and therefore string theory is a theory of nothing, as you will find if you read the wikipedia article on string theory all the way to the end.

Answer 2

I am a litlte puzzled about your question, don't you mean the points of agreement between the two? Einstein's SR posits the absence of any absolute frame of reference, all things are relative, and Buddhism's TE holds that all things and events are empty of any intrinsic or absolute existence, those things are measured relative to other things. For instance, you can be "good" only relative to life around you. If there exists nothing but you, you cannot possess the quality of "good". You need to be good to others for you to be good. The two theories seem to be in pretty good agreement in this regard.

Einstein's SR is an effort to reconcile transformation paradoxes of the Maxwell electromagnetic equations, but alone cannot be generalized to explain all other physical phenomenon, such as gravitation. This is the reason why Einstein later developed General Relativity, after adding some new principles. SR does posit the existence of SOME things, such as a finite, invariant speed of light, and Buddhism's TE does posit the existence of being. The salient difference is that Buddhism uses TE as a starting point, much like later Existentialist philosophy, for framing out questions of ethics and ideals, whereas SR is incomplete.

Other than that, Einstein's SR being relatively simple, philosophically speaking, it's hard to see it being in serious conflict with Buddhism's TE.

Answer 3

the answer is chicken. this is using something totaly unrelated to something else. it makes no sense.

the question as stated has no correlation.

special relativity is all about the fact of there being no special observer in science. all view points are valid (no this is NOT as general as it seems and it's NOT some cosmic answer, those are TECHNICAL terms not GENERAL terms and do not mean the same things at all. just as MOLE is not the same in chemistry as it is in real life. ones a little furry animal the other is a NUMBER.)

Answer 4

Their differences lie in the fact that they have basically no similarities. The Buddhist ideal of emptiness is a means to understanding nature through direct observation. Einsteinian Relativity is a rigourous mathematical analysis of large-scale and high-energy physics. They have different intentions, different requirements, and address different aspects of reality.
